This year at SJHS, we had two freshmen girls make the Springville High School basketball team. Lexi Moeaki and Lindsay Johnson, ninth grade, both made the junior varsity (JV) and sophomore teams. The teams practice, together, everyday from 3-5 PM, in the G-Wing gym at the high school, with the exception of Saturday practices that are usually in the morning. The JV and sophomore games start December 2nd at home, against Herriman and end the beginning of February. The JV team usually plays at 3:30 and the sophomores usually play at 7:00.


Lexi said, “Basketball is my favorite sport because I like being with the team. Its fun and I like it! I also like scoring and winning.”   Two other freshmen from Mapleton Junior High made the JV/sophomore team as well. Lexi has been playing with them since before junior high, and they all play very well together. Last year their team won the championship game in their seventh and eighth grade division. 

Lindsay said, “I like basketball because its fun.”
